 Vertex Painting is a simple way of painting color onto an object, by directly
 manipulating the color of vertices, rather than textures, and is fairly straightforward.
+Vertex Painting stores the color information as a

+Viewing Color Attributes
+========================
+
+Color Attributes can be used in a material node tree using the :doc:`/render/shader_nodes/input/vertex_color`.
+
+Color Attributes can be viewed in the 3D viewport using the Workbench render engine.
+To use such feature, set the 3D Viewport to :ref:`Solid Shading <3dview-shading-solid>`
+and select the *Attribute* Color option.
